Hi,

I construct a simple character into the scene and applied the leap motion into it and leap motion can work. However, I create NetworkManager to realize two characters online work, I set this character into Spawn Info -> Player Prefab in NetworkManager, then, I run the game and found leap motion cannot work (no virtual hand appeared). I do not know how to deal with it?

I am waiting for help

Hi @ucabelu are you sure the hands are not spawned at all? For example, I was having a problem in which hands did not follow the player [See Here: https://community.leapmotion.com/t/orion-unity3d-bug-fix-hands-dont-follow-player-in-build/5437/]. Otherwise I'd double check that your Leap Service is running. This can be done on windows by running Services.msc and scrolling down to Leap Service. You might also try restarting the service.

Edit: added link to similar thread

I am sure that the hands are not spawned.

Just look at my Network Manager, when I run my project, thirdPersonController will be created.

the virtual hands cannot be visible.
if I do not use Network, the virtual hands can be visible.
should I need to add hands model into NetworkManager -> registered spawnable prefabs? if so, I think the virtual hands will not be followed by ThirdPersonController. because the virtual hands is not the children of ThirdPersonController.

Maybe something wrong with my thoughts, but I really do not know how to deal with it..

its been a while since I worked on the project so take this with a grain of salt, (and sorry for the late reply)

I believe it does need to be added to spawnable prefabs. Seem to remember the hierarchy works fine on non-server-side clients, but throw on a NetworkTransformChild and that should do the trick.

Good Luck!

So this is a bit of a necrobump but I ran into this issue and I've fixed it. The problem is that your network manager is spawning two player prefabs - meaning two instances of the LeapHandController object are active in the scene at once. Disable all leap objects in the hierarchy of the prefab, then enable them after you've confirmed that the prefab in question is the local player. If you ever have two LeapHandController GameObjects active in the scene, the tracking locks up and stops, even if you delete the subsequent objects afterwards.

Edit: I seem to have only fixed a part of the problem. I'm doing a deeper dive into networked hands, will update soon with more info.

Second Update: Got everything working. Tutorial should be incoming soon.

Hi,

any progress on the tutorial? I think that it would be really useful for many people.

Cheers

Hi Jcorvinus, any news about the tutorial?
I am about to start a project with networking hands and would welcome some inputs, just not to start all over again,
thanks!

Hey everybody. I'm really sorry about not posting the tutorial. I was told by my employer that I'm not allowed to post it. If you want you can PM me for help with your projects, and I can help you work around whatever issues you run into.

Ah, NDA's are not good for the community

Hello，I am an amateur developer and I am longing for your tutorial. Could I have further communication with you? If possible, I will contact you by email.
PS: What is "PM"? I am a Chinese and I don't get it I am sorry for that.
